Story

It is the story of a teacher whose family is put to trouble by the local politician and others, for their selfish ends. And is presented to the viewer as the memories of the youngest son of the teacher, who was a witness to all that happened to his family.

An agraharam with a big building is given to the teacher by a philanthropist to run a school. But the local politician and don Koteswara Rao (Ambareesh) wants to appropriate the land and the building.

He even uses the building for his prostitution racket. Unaware of these developments, the teacher visits the building and is shocked at the happenings and asks the call girls to vacate at once. Sankar (Nasser), the teacher's eldest son, threatens them with dire consequences if they do not vacate. The prostitutes pretend to obey him, but in an underhanded murky plot, malign the teacher's integrity and he dies of shock.

Sankar carries his father's body as the entire village boycotts the family. The politician does not stop with that - he torches the teacher's house with the family trapped inside.

Sankar, a valiant man who is feared in the area, rescues his family. All this comes to us as flashback narrated by Varada (Sudeep), a mute spectator then.

Later, as a grown man, he vows to take revenge on the politician and his men. He starts attacking the villains and grows into a gangster himself giving protection to Koteswara Rao's victims.

Koteswara Rao's wife's sister, Preeti (Rakshita) falls in love with Varada. The politicians' attempts to stop her from meeting him does not yield results.

Varada brings her into the protection of his mother and brother, who do not like his violent ways.

Koteswara Rao does not know who Varada is, till Varada demands Koteswara Rao to surrender the entire Agraharam and the building which the villain refuses.

Sudeep does not look like a debut-making hero. He plays his role with ease. Rakshita is adequate for the role of a victim of circumstances. It is Nasser, however, who steals the show with good performance. Music is one of the interesting aspects of the film.
